Erin's Yoga Journey
Erin’s journey into yoga began through the emotional intensity of rehabbing an injury. Navigating both physical pain and inner frustration, she came to understand how disorienting it can be to lose control, not just of the body, but of the entire healing process. One of the most challenging parts is learning to surrender: to release expectations, stop forcing outcomes, and allow the body to heal on its own terms.
Before discovering yoga, Erin was focused solely on the physical, pushing through pain and often ignoring the emotional layers that true healing requires. She had mastered the art of suppression, avoiding discomfort and fearing what might surface if she slowed down enough to truly feel. But once she gave herself permission to be fully present, the floodgates opened. And with them came a powerful realization: healing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply personal.
That mind-body connection transformed her life, and it now forms the foundation of her teaching. Erin creates a space where safety, curiosity, and honest communication are prioritized. Her goal is to guide students toward deeper self-connection by cultivating both emotional and bodily awareness. Through foundational drills, intentional alignment, and dynamic flows, her classes are fun, challenging, and educational.
Most of all, Erin hopes her students leave class feeling empowered, grounded, and just a little more at home in themselves.
Styles of Yoga
Vinyasa:
A dynamic, flow-based practice that links breath with movement. This class has an aerobic and strength-building focus, targeting muscular tissue. You’ll move through sequences that emphasize syncing inhales and exhales with intentional movement, building both strength and flexibility while deepening body awareness.
Chair Yoga:
A gentle practice in which yoga postures are performed while seated or using a chair for support. Ideal for beginners, seniors, or anyone rehabbing an injury. This class helps increase flexibility, improve range of motion, and cultivate body awareness in a safe and accessible way.
Yin:
A slow-paced, meditative class focused on working the body’s connective tissues—ligaments, fascia, and joints—rather than muscular strength. Postures are held for 3–5 minutes, allowing the breath to guide you into a deep state of surrender and release. Yin helps prevent injury, supports recovery, and enhances mobility.
Restorative:
A deeply relaxing, meditative practice designed to “Relax and Renew.” Using props to fully support the body in restful poses, there is no muscular engagement. This class invites stillness, inner calm, and nervous system regulation. It’s a nurturing space to slow down, release tension, and reconnect with yourself.
